Microfluidic Production of Polymeric Functional Microparticles
(2012)
This dissertation focuses on applying droplet-based microfluidics to fabricate new classes of polymeric microparticles with customized properties for various applications. The integration of microfluidic techniques with ...
RAPID Lithography: Photopolymerization Characterization and Initiation Kinetics
(2012)
In order to improve upon the resolution of photolithography, a technique that is used to produce features for today's micro and nanodevices, techniques must move beyond e-beam and deep-UV sources. Multiphoton absorption ...

Design and Synthesis of New Group (IV) Cyclopentadienyl Amidinate and Guanidinate Initiators for Controlling the Microstructure of Poly(α-olefins) During Living Coordinative Chain Transfer Polymerizations
(2014)
C1-symmetric, cationic group 4 metal (Zr and Hf) mono-methyl complexes, {(η5-C5Me5)M[N(tBu)C(Me)N(Et)](Me)}[B(C6F5)4], are highly active initiators for the living and stereo-selective (isotactic) coordinative ...
End-Group Functionalized Poly(α-olefinates) as Modular Building Blocks
(2016)
The development of living coordination chain transfer polymerization (LCCTP) has provided a viable path to practical and scalable bulk quantities of structurally well-defined polyolefins that are further characterized by ...
INVESTIGATION OF SOLID-STATE SELF-ASSEMBLY OF ONE- AND MULTI- COMPONENT SUGAR POLYOLEFIN CONJUGATES AND MECHANISMS FOR FRANK-KASPER MESOPHASE TRANSITIONS
(2020)
The self-assembly of molecules provides the basis of life and has become ubiquitous for the development of nanostructured materials. Nanostructured materials have long reaching impacts for the furtherment of science, as ...
